I wanna beta read ur novel !

Hi there!
For those who don't know what beta reading is, it's basically when someone reads the first chapter of ur yet unpublished novel and say what works and what doesn't, (in their opinion)

So I'll basically pre-review it and give you feedback so that you can polish your work even more before actually publishing it,

I want to read:

Spoiler

Anything. Romance, fiction, adventure, horror, really anything. It can be your first draft or what you're planning on publishing, or a single chapter, or the full thing. Really, it's up to you.

How much time will it take me to review ur novel?

Spoiler

It'll take me about a week, or a month depending on the length really

How It works

Spoiler

post your interest here, and if it is a work that's been published on this site, I'll gladly review it. If the novel isn't on YWS, then PM it to me and I'll tell you how I'll review it

How to post your book's info

Spoiler

1. Title of your book
2. Genre of your book (or what you believe is the genre of your novel if ur not sure)
3. If it is on YWS or not, and whether you want to send it to me or other
4. A short resume of what it’s about (don’t spoil any twists or the ending tho)
5.What you're planning to do with it? Actually publish it, or simply to polish it..
6.If there are anything specific you want feedback on, then this is where you can put it
7.Anything you think I should know !!

Thanks for letting me read your works 💚

I want to publish it!!!
I think there's no need to provide resume cuz it's the first chapter and you will understand it. Only information I want to give you is it's set in a fictional place called Jwesteb.

Hiiii @ForeverYoung299 <3333

I can't open your link as it send me back to my portfolio instead of yours
Maybe you can simply PM it to me, or make a writer feed pad

@stygianmoon17 that's strange. Okay, open this link. It's the link to the first chapter

Diary of a leader of surreptitious past(D.O.A.L.O.S.P) Part 1

Is it opening?

yup

Hi there.

I was wondering if you could review my novel series. I currently have 7 chapters and was looking for someone to read the series as I wrote it.

It's action\adventure\fantasy.

I don't want to spoil anything, but the main characters are dragons who live and die in a tribal culture. The story covers conflicts such as war, natural disasters, fights for the throne and much more.

I am hoping to publish the story in the future, but right now I just want to polish it. Any advice is much appreciated, but I'm looking mainly to work on plot and world building.

Here's the links to the parts I currently have.

Prologue: The Quest for Fire - Into the Mists - Prologue

1: The Quest for Fire - Into the Mists - Chapter 1

2: The Quest for Fire - Into the Mists - Chapter 2

3: The Quest for Fire - Into the Mists - Chapter 3

4: The Quest for Fire - Into the Mists - Chapter 4

5: The Quest for Fire - Into the Mists - Chapter 5

6: The Quest for Fire - Into the Mists - Chapter 6

Thank you in advance.

Best regards
Felistia

Wow thanks a lot I was actually looking for things to review ^^
I'll look into them by tomorrow, in the meantime, is their anything in particular you'd want me to focus on ?
(like characters, plot development, foreshadowing, writing style..)

@stygianmoon17
Thank you. I'm mostly looking at these points.

World building (I want it to feel like a living, breathing world with history. I don't want it to feel like the history of this world started with the first chapter.)

Plot (how everything ties together and plot holes)

Characters (I don't want it to feel like they are doing things because the script says they must. I want them to feel real and their actions natural.)

Hope this explains what I'm looking for. Thank you again.

Hey! If you're still looking for stuff to read, I have a novel that I'm actually planning to query soon (which is absolutely terrifying and will probably crush my soul). My manuscript has been through several drafts at this point but I always feel like I need more eyes on it. Especially the first chapter or so, since that's the part that goes in queries. (But if you want to keep reading after that I would love you forever). Here's the info if you're interested

Title: That it Should Come to This (A modern retelling of Hamlet)
Genre: YA contemporary/speculative elements

It's not on YWS. Let me know how you would like to receive it (it's in google doc form)

Blurb: Prince Benjamin is still shaken by the death of his father, the King of the United States, when his mom gets engaged to his disagreeable uncle and his father's ghost makes an appearance to reveal the truth about his death. Turns out, his uncle isn't just an asshole, but a murderer too. With his enthusiastic best friend Ophelia and Elijah, the boy he's falling in love with, by his side, Ben must decide what to do-- if anything-- about the murder of his father. Hamlet wavers in a destructive spiral of depression and indecision, Ophelia takes matters into her own hands, and Elijah attempts to preserve the sanity of all three of them. When the people he loves start getting hurt, Ben is caught between putting his life in the hands of his uncle and taking it himself.

PM me if you want to read it!
